Author Tim Northway Explains About The Mist…

Q) What is the “mist” in “Total Amnesia” and where does it come from? Why a “mist” anyway? What was that concept all about?

I assume you’re asking about the gas that paralyzes the humans so they can be collected up by the invaders.

It is a very easy way of taking over a planet.

The brain of all living things contain a “node” programmed into the DNA. This node will react to a certain composition of gas, shut down the body and activate a locating beacon.

For example, if a Harvest company has an order for 100,000 Moose, the ship will gas the planet with a particular gas composition. This will paralyze all Moose and only Moose—no other organism will be affected by the gas.

In this story, the Harvest ship has a purchase order to collect up all the humans.

The story begins as the pink gas (mist) descends upon the planet, penetrating solids as easily as air. The humans have no defense as the mist approaches. Imagine watching an approaching wall of pink gas as it pervades the planet, knowing there is nothing you can do to escape it.
